UNRIVALED SCALABILTY FROM 1 TO CLOUD

With a modern, WiNG 5 distributed operating system, the AP 8533 offers four deployment modes to meet any requirement: standalone AP, Virtual Controller mode for creating networks up to 64 access points, NOC Controllers scaling to 25,000 access points, or enjoy virtually unlimited scalability via Zebra’s Azara cloud.

EXPANDED CAPABILIITES WITH ZEBRA’S TRIPLE SENSOR TECHNOLOGY

Access more possibilities with AP 8533. The AP 8533 has integrated three powerful sensors that optimize security, customer engagement and network performance.

• 802.11 Wireless Sensor for Gap-free Security – Trust the AP 8533 to deliver best-in-class PCI compliance and security with AirDefense*. Unlike other sensors that scan only part-time, this dedicated, dual-band 802.11ac sensor scans for rogue devices full-time, eliminating the risk of being blindsided by them. Once a threat is detected, it is checked with an extensive security and network vulnerability signature database to proactively safeguard your network.
• Two-in-One Bluetooth Sensor
  • For Security and Location Services: Monitor BT2.0 devices in the environment using the AP 8533 and ADSP Security Appliance. Map BT2.0 devices, and analyze for potential security threats.
  • Communicate With Every Customer: Due to its ubiquitous nature, Bluetooth is an excellent means to engage customers. The AP 8533 supports Apple iBeacon to communicate with a loyalty app on a customer’s smartphone. Using Google Eddystone, enterprises can send advertisements directly to shoppers, guests and conference attendees even without a loyalty app pre-installed. This makes it ideal for businesses to advertise their app download pages,
• RF Spectrum Sensor – Maximize performance and visibility without compromise. Using the dedicated full-time RF spectrum sensor, you can monitor and identify RF interference without slowing down the throughput on the data radios.
